Fostering Research Culture, Collaborations, and Support Systems Leading to the Production of Quality Output
摘要
This chapter describes the ways in which academic leaders can promote research cultures that lead to quality outcomes for stakeholders. The ideas are presented within the context of brief case studies about the research cultures of three institutions with different missions, geographic locations and cultural characteristics, and availability of/access to funding to support research projects. The chapter focuses on the ways the research culture manifests at each institution, given priorities about student outcomes, research impact, the stage of development of the research culture, and overall workload for researchers. The chapter concludes with reflections and recommendations for academic leaders on how they can enable the creation of a thriving research culture that generates quality outcomes.
